I long for an England team that doesn't give away pointless pens. It's like Jones pushes them to add needle all the time and they don't know when to stop8 minutes gone and that’s 3 soft penalties conceded already. Making it hard for ourselves in time honoured fashion!

Brilliant from Ireland. It would have been easy for heads to drop when Sexton’s penalty hit the bar and All Blacks scored a minute later. Great fighting spirit and skill from the Irish.

If the team needs changing then the 37th minute is better than half time. Still very poor team selection though3 minutes before half time and subbed. What a fucking shambles of a coaching decision that is. He shouldn't have started (JVP is quicker at the ruck and better at kicking) but have the decency to wait until half time

Well, JVP was instrumental in the Steward try so fair enough but it's a bad look for a coach.
He needs to either play to Smith's strengths or take him off - massive liability in defence

Excellent win by England v The Convicts. Some brutal tackling and defensive work.
Come on Wales and Scotland for the clean sweep.

Smith was brave as a lion but not a match for the Aussie big hitters. We have to play though more phases so we don’t ha d over the majority of possessionWell, JVP was instrumental in the Steward try so fair enough but it's a bad look for a coach.

Well done to Ireland, and to England. Winning a series in Oz and (particularly) NZ is no mean achievement.
